Selected Heroes: Adventure In The World of Althea
episode 2

Before I said goodbye, the Goddess of Light asked my name to remind me. I gave you my name. My name is**Raka**, which means*light** in English. I think that name matches the power of light I have.

The Goddess of Light smiled and said: "Good name, Raka. I'll remember your name. I hope we can meet again one day."

I also smiled and said: "Thank you, Goddess of Light. I hope so too."

He then raised his hand and said something in Althea language that I did not understand. I felt a strong wind coming down on my body. I felt as if I was flying through the air.

I closed my eyes and held on tightly to the communication ring that was on my finger.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was already in a vast meadow south of the city. I saw that there were nine other people standing there confused and shocked.

They were other chosen heroes summoned from another world.

I walked up to them and greeted them: "Hello, my name is Raka. I am a chosen hero who has the power of light. It's good to see you guys."

They returned my greeting hesitantly and curiously. They also introduced themselves one by one.

They are: they are:

-**Luna**, a beautiful girl who has the power of water. She comes from a world called Terra, a place where humans live together with talking pets.

-**Leo**, a handsome young man who has the power of fire. He comes from a world called Ignis, a place where humans live in conflict between the fire kingdom and the ice kingdom.

-**Zara**, an intelligent girl who has the power of wind. He comes from a world called Ventus, a place where humans live in harmony with nature and use environmentally friendly technology.

-**Kai**, a dashing young man who has the strength of the land. He comes from a world called Terra, a place where humans live in competition between clans that control natural resources.

-**Nina**, a sweet girl who has the power of love. He comes from a world called Amor, a place where humans live in peace and love each other without distinction of race, religion, or gender.

-*Noah**, a kind-hearted young man who has the power of life. He comes from a world called Vita, a place where humans live in well-being and help each other regardless of status, position, or wealth.

-**Lila**, a brave girl who has the power of dreams. He comes from a world called Somnus, a place where humans live on adventures and can get into other people's dreams.

-**Liam**, a humorous young man who has the power of art. He comes from a world called Ars, a place where humans live in creativity and can create extraordinary works of art.

-**Lana**, a mysterious girl who has the power of time. He comes from a world called Tempus, a place where humans live in uncertainty and can see the past or the future.

I feel happy and impressed with the other chosen heroes. They all look interesting and unique.

I wish we could be friends and work together to save this world.

This is the beginning of our meeting, the chosen hero.

This is the beginning of our adventure, the chosen hero.

After we introduced ourselves to each other, we heard the voice of the Goddess of Light coming into our communication ring. He said: "Hello, chosen hero. How are you guys doing? Have you met each other?"

We replied: "Yes, Goddess of Light. We have met and met. We're excited to meet the other chosen heroes."

The Goddess of Light said: "I am also happy to hear that. I hope you can work together and be friendly. You guys are a great team."

We said: "Thank you, Goddess of Light. We'll try our best."

We asked: "What is a light artifact? How's the shape and name?"

The Goddess of Light explained: "The light artifacts are:

-**Moon Necklace**, a crescent-shaped necklace that can control the tides and provide water power to its owner.

-** Sun Ring**, a sun-shaped ring that can emit intense heat and fire and provide fire power to its owner.

-**Wind Bracelet**, a wing-shaped bracelet that can create strong winds and storms and provide wind power to its owner.

-**Earth Pendant**, a five-pointed star shaped pendant that can move large earths and rocks and give ground strength to its owner.

-**Crown of Light**, a circular crown that can emit bright light and kindness and give the power of light to its owner.

These light artifacts had shapes and colors that matched the basic elements in this world. This light artifact also has a relationship with a chosen hero who possesses the same elemental power. So, the chosen hero who has the power of water will more easily find the Moon Necklace, the chosen hero who has the power of fire will more easily find the Sun Ring, and so on."

We understand his explanation. We feel attracted to the light artifact.

We asked again: "Where can we find light artifacts? Is there a clue or a map?"

The Goddess of Light replied: "Unfortunately, I don't know for sure where the light artifact lies. These light artifacts had been lost for a long time and were hidden in secret places by his guards. These guards are magical beings loyal to me and tasked with protecting the light artifact from the evil hands. They will also test you before giving you the light artifact."

We feel confused and worried. We don't know how to search for light artifacts.

The Goddess of Light said: "Don't worry, chosen hero. I will help you as much as I can. I will give you some clues or puzzles that can guide you towards the light artifact. You must solve this puzzle using your intelligence, knowledge, and strength. You can also use the communication ring to discuss or share information with other selected heroes. You must work together and help each other to accomplish this mission."

We nodded and got ready. We feel optimistic and excited.

The Goddess of Light said: "Alright, now I will give you the first riddle that can lead you to the first light artifact. This puzzle is:

**Where there is water, there I am. Where there is fire, I am gone. Where there is wind, I move. Where there is land, I am buried. Where there is light, there I shine. I was ...**

Answer this puzzle correctly, and you will find the first light artifact.

Congratulations on fighting, hero selected.

I believe in you guys."

After saying that, the voice of the Goddess of Light disappeared from our communication ring.

We looked at each other and thought hard.

What is the answer to this puzzle?

What is the first light artifact we should look for?

This is the beginning of our mission, the chosen hero.

This is the beginning of our challenge, the chosen hero.
